Firefox asks me to sign-in to Outlook. Internet Explorer does not. Why?
When I try to access Email in Outlook, Firefox has been asking me to sign-in to my account. It never did this in the past. When I try to access Email using Internet Explorer, I get my Email immediately - no sign-in is necessary; consequently, I've been using Internet Explorer more often than Firefox. Why did this change occur? I don't believe that I did anything to cause it.

Hello,
In Firefox, is "save passwords" enabled? When enabled, this can let Firefox save the password for Outlook so that you don't have to keep logging in to it. Also, whenever you clear cookies in Firefox, it will log you out of sites that you were currently logged into. So that could be why you have to log in every time on Firefox if you ever clear cookies on Firefox someway...
I hope this solves or helps with your issue!
